Ezequiel 36:10

10 e multiplicarei homens sobre vós, a toda a casa de Israel, a toda ela; e as cidades serão habitadas, e os lugares devastados serão edificados.

Ezequiel 36:10 Meaning and Commentary

Ezekiel 36:10

And I will multiply men upon you
Who should inhabit the cities on the mountains, and increase very much: all the house of Israel, even all of it:
not the Heathens should be multiplied on them, but the Israelites, all of them, and them only; all the tribes of Israel, the ten tribes as well as the other; and which is repeated for the confirmation of it: by this it appears that the prophecy has a further view than to the return of the Jews from the Babylonish captivity; for all did not return, many remained in the provinces of Babylon; and those that returned were chiefly of the tribes of Judah and Benjamin; but few of the rest came with them. Kimchi thinks the words have respect to the ten tribes, which he says are hid to this day; so Ben Melech. And the cities shall be inhabited, and the wastes shall be builded;
in a literal sense; as well as the church of God, and inheritance of Christ, shall then be in a flourishing condition.

Ezequiel 36:10 In-Context

8 Mas vós, ó montes de Israel, vós produzireis os vossos ramos, e dareis o vosso fruto para o meu povo de Israel, pois já está prestes a vir.

9 pois eis que eu estou convosco, e eu me voltarei para vós, e sereis lavrados e semeados;

10 e multiplicarei homens sobre vós, a toda a casa de Israel, a toda ela; e as cidades serão habitadas, e os lugares devastados serão edificados.

11 Também sobre vós multiplicarei homens e animais, e eles se multiplicarão, e frutificarão. E farei que sejais habitados como dantes, e vos tratarei melhor do que nos vossos princípios. Então sabereis que eu sou o Senhor.

12 E sobre vós farei andar homens, o meu povo de Israel; eles te possuirão, e tu serás a sua herança, e nunca mais os desfilharás.
